A Character’s Real and Imaginary Journey Drive Ballad of Rustom

    

“Wedding Anniversary”, a film which stars Nana Patekar, Mahie Gill and Priyanshu Chatterjee, are actors who are known for their realistic slice of life representations in their earlier films but have moved from that with a different turn in this film: all looking gorgeous and classy! This is Nana’s best screen avatar as he has never looked this soft, handsome and approachable ever and so is Mahie Gill has never looked this glamorous, who is known for her realistic and powerful roles. With Shanti Bhushan Roy’s camera movements and the beautiful soft lighting, he has not only created a mood for the story and its setting but also attracts the viewers to the characters of Kahani (Mahie Gill) and Nagarjun (Nana Patekar) along with others.

“Visually, the look in the film Humne Gandhi Ko Maar Diya is quite consistent. Every frame is well-mounted. The virgin locales and the claustrophobic space it the train compartment are brilliantly captured by Cinematographer Shanti Bhushan Roy’s lens. The few vivid scenic shots canned by the wide angle lens give this film that extra cinematic boost. These add an aura to the narrative. ”

“The narrative is enhanced by Shanti Bhushan Roy’s cinematography, which is ethereal. Billowing dust and overcast skies; the utter lonesomeness of dry barren lands; trees undulating in the wind, as if giving testimony to all that took place in their vicinity and the surprising end to those happenings; everything is captured with an astute sensibility and a deft hand. The cinematography provided by Shanti Bhushan Roy gives an atmospheric feel to the stories, elevating them to another plane altogether. ”

Aamir Khan’s ‘Rubaru Roshni’ is about loss. And about forgiving

Bhatkal and editor Hemanti Nayant Sarkar keep the narrative structure tight as they neatly weave together the footage of each of the stories captured over the years, developing a very organic and thought-provoking screenplay.

They first present the struggles of the victim’s kin and the culprit of each of the stories. Then even as the law of the country takes its course, it slowly leads you into the varied human emotions of the parties involved. They are backed well by Aditya-Nayantara’s minimalist, but evocative musical score, and Shanti Bhushan Roy’s deft camera work.
